Trial of Mayor Sheila Dixon- On assignment for The Daily Record

On assignment for The Daily Record, I was able to capture a series of photos and courtroom sketches during the trail of Mayor Sheila Dixon. The trial lasted for weeks, surrounding many long days in cold rain outside of the Baltimore City Circuit Courthouse, resulting in a conviction of the mayor which resulted in her stepping down from office. Here are some of my favorate images from Dixon's final days as Mayor of the City of Baltimore.
